Editing Dark Eldar Combat Weapons (section)

==Haemonculus Weaponry==
Even amongst the twisted Dark Eldar, the Haemonculus stand out. Able to [[Grimdark|weaponise pain]] in ways unimaginable, they employ an array of alien, painful and very lethal weapons.

===Flesh Gauntlet===

A pretty fucked up 'equipment'.

The Flesh Gauntlet is a truly nightmarish weapon, used by Dark Eldar Haemonculi, Wracks and Grotesques. An array of syringes strapped onto a single glove, capable of injecting a target with a [[Martini|cocktail]] of truly unpleasant drugs (electrosteroids) that will cause the target to explode through violent uncontrolled muscle growth.

In the end there is only an undefined pile of heaving matter, little more than a pile of twitching muscle, ruptured skin, and shattered bone. The deadliness of the weapon is hardly offset by the fact that many models require a short period of time to prepare a new batch of electrosteroids after each use.

Flesh Gauntlets come stock on Grotesques but Haemonculi like them, too. S:User in the codex, Wound-rolls of 6+ also deal a mortal wound. No AP but you have your cleavers for that but Haemonculi should stay away from this. Instead you use this against units with high Invul saves like Daemons and Crusaders.

===Mindphase Gauntlet===

These high-tech gauntlets are used by Haemonculi and their minions such as wracks and grotesques. The Mindphase is an advanced neural controller that can shut down a target's brain, [[Derp|rendering him a will-less idiot and easy pickings for the Dark Eldar.]] Even monstrous Carnifexes can be stopped by these gauntlets, though against the most powerful foes it is not as reliable as against some humanoid beings.

[[Tl;dr]], it is less of a weapon and more a control device that can stop a rampaging foe in his tracks with a single touch, leaving him glassy-eyed and shuddering with overwhelming fatigue.

The Mindphase Gauntlet is the bog-standard weapon for the Haemonculi and its minions, except with Damage 2. Since damage doesn't spread between models, this is worthless against 1 Wound models and with Strength: User and no AP it won't help much against anything else, either.

===Scissorhand===

Edward Scissorhands turned up to 11; several shears strapped to a gauntlet that can cut apart nearly anything that it can get its blades on.

The glove has a series of vein-like tubes that run along each finger, slowly reapplying an incredibly virulent poison to the blades. Victims who receive even the slightest of scratches by these blades become wracked with pain so incredible that it frequently causes the target to pass out or even die.

The weapon itself looks a little like a pair of surgical shears, and also harbors ''other'' expensive and less lethal toxins so that its wielder might better incapacitate those whose limbs it amputates.

[[Tl;dr]], basically Dark Eldar Lightning Claws with poison instead of electricity.

Scissorhands are Haemonculus Tools with AP-1 and an additional attack. Great on an Acothyst, but a Haemonculus can use the Electrocorrosive Whip better.
